Description

A mechanism for locally density-dependent dynamic parton rearrangement and fusion has been implemented into the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) approach. The same mechanism has been previously built in the Quark Gluon String Model (QGSM). This rearrangement and fusion approach based on parton coalescence ideas enables the description of multi-particle interactions, namely 3 -> 3 and 3 -> 2, between (pre-)hadronic states in addition to standard binary interactions. The UrQMD model (v2.3) extended by these additional processes allows to investigate implications of multi-particle interactions on the reaction dynamics of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The mechanism, its implementation and first results of this investigation, e.g. implications on the kinetic equilibration and on measurable observables like spectra of final hadrons, will be presented and discussed.
